Adam H. Fleischer at the Crossroads: Where Med Mal Meets Product Liability

6.1.2014

Congratulations to Adam H. Fleischer who collaborated with the Swiss Re expert network to create and present an international webinar on June 25, 2014, titled "Crossroads: Where Med Mal Meets Products Liability." The seminar used three types of claims as examples: Pharmacy compounding; hip implants and; vaginal mesh. Each type of claim was discussed in the context of how it may present both professional negligence E&O liability, as well as product-type general liability allegations against the same defendants, or against co-defendants who may both be insured under the same policy. This gave rise to a discussion of challenging coverage issues, including the simultaneous existence of different triggers, conflicts of interest between co-insurers, disputes over which defendant or which claimant should have access to policy limits, medical monitoring coverage, and wording issues that may help limit an insurer's exposure. The seminar was attended by over 300 industry professionals from across the globe.
